Tomas Tranströmer, R.I.P.

Sad news: The great Swedish poet and Nobel laureate Tomas Tranströmer has died. Here, in memoriam, are some of his poems in translations I made with poet and critic Lars-Håkan Svensson when I lived in Sweden in the late 1990s. They originally appeared in a special Scandinavian issue of Samizdat.
